The representatives said that since the beginning of this year, trade between China and Russia in various fields has declined to varying degrees due to the impact of the epidemic, but trade in agricultural products has increased. While we are full of confidence and prospects for china-Russia trade in agricultural products and food, producers and distributors should also pay attention to the fact that the epidemic is not yet completely over. We should strengthen prevention and strictly abide by the safety recommendations jointly issued by the FOOD and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization to ensure food safety. Also put in place are the risks of virus transmission that may arise from cold-chain transport. Producers of Russian agricultural products exported to China should take a good view of quality in particular, ensure that products exported to China meet relevant quality requirements, and maintain the good reputation of Russian agricultural products and food among Chinese consumers.
